« YOU NEED TO BE IN A FAMILY PHOTO WITH MY NEW HUSBAND. » THE GIRLS SMILED, PACKED HER A BAG — AND SHE RAN OUT BAREFOOT, SCREAMING.
PART 1
I became the guardian of my twin granddaughters at 56 after my daughter-in-law abandoned them because she « wanted a better life. »
My name is Diane. My son died in a car accident three months after his twins were born. I promised his wife, Kayla, I’d always be there. But two months after the funeral, Kayla left the babies with me and never came back. She called: « I want a better life. Without kids, it’ll be easier to marry a rich man. »
She left. I stayed. At 56, I became their mother. I worked two jobs, never missed a school performance. Jennifer and Lizzie were my whole world.
Yesterday was their 20th birthday. We spent the day together — cake, good food, real happiness.
Then a knock. Kayla stood there in designer clothes and a diamond watch, and walked in as if I were invisible.
« My sweet girls! Everything back then was your father’s fault. But now we can be together. By the way — you need to be in a family photo with my new husband tomorrow. »
